Nasty, saggy tits like those you might see on a National Geographic special on Africa.

Dan: "Yeah, I bet she lactates rust."
Stan: "Dude, really?"

The act of psychically squatting on the hood or windshield of a early 90's Geo Tracker and defecating one's feces all over.
"Last night, me and the fellows went Geo Squatting. We hit four Geo's, but on the fifth, Tom pulled his hamstring in mid-squat and we had to carry him home for the night. It was a sad moment because Tom was going for a new record."

Highly efficient car. Easy on the pocket for those would rather not be bent over by the oil companies. One of the few cars that actually does what it was claimed to do. Speaking as someone who has drivin and had one. Definitely not for the impatient or someone who enjoys getting tickets and high insurance rates.
Wow look. That V8 just blew away a geo metro. Talk about a fragile ego. When he gets home he will probably push his grandma in the wheelchair down the stairs.

Holy shit that crazy J-wale geo-shanked Frank
(for reference you can search J-wale)
an extremely unfunny joke that is very corny and no one laughs.
"Here comes the tickle monster!; Poopy-butt fart!" "Yo bro that is such a geo joke."

An intellectual connection made from one topic to Geography. Mostly associated with Human Geography for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Mostly associated with Physical Geography for the Sciences. A very useful connection as they are generally remembered and therefore available for use when a Geographer needs a case study as an example.
Student 1: So have you read that article on the Chinese Revolution?
Student 2: Yes and oh my god it is a big Geo bridge!
Student 1: How so?
Student 2: Well its because of the Chinese Revolution that the PRC and RC separated. However, the USA initially supported the RC to spite the PRC during the cold war years. However, now that the PRC is dominant in global affairs it will not allow the RC (Taiwan) to become a recognized independent country under the U.N. Because of this, Taiwan cannot claim sovereign rights of the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea although some believe it has the most claim to the islands. And because 4+ nations claim the islands because of their geostrategic location there is tense pollitical rivalries in the area which threaten global stability as the Spratlys are on a major shipping route from Japan to Europe.
"In geo-politics, there are no real friends or enemies, only friendly enemies or hostile friends" - Unknown -
The very dynamic theory of politics not between people or peoples of a region, but of the regions themselves. They can be as relatively simple as the 50 States of the USA and the Federal Government of that same entity to the highly complicated, such as the oil-producing Gulf States or the former USSR's constituent countries. Geo-Political relationships can also range from the fully justified to what would appear to be morally repugnant, but the actions themselves are purely neutral; the results of the actions are what should be subject to judgement calls.
Geo-Politics is in a constant state of flux depending on a lot of factors, from who holds the power to who has the resources to support an action. Some noted examples:
The USA allying with the USSR in WW II ( Germany was at the time a far bigger menace. Needless to say, the USSR's ideology would be eternally at conflict with ours.)
The Cold War that followed WW II was classic Geo-Politics at its best. Due to MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) ideology, there was no safe way the US and USSR could directly confront each other. So came the period of Tinpot Dictators supported by both sides and at least two major proxy wars ( Korea & Vietnam). The support to these oft times vicious and repressive regimes was concerned with controlling as much of the world as possible versus tending to the individuals needs in those countries.
With the fall of the Shah and the ascendancy of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran posed a serious threat to Gulf stability. Though at no time would Saddam have been considered a friend, his military could serve to defuse the potential Iranian flashpoint. As such he was aided in his war with Iran (1981-1988). The two countries laid waste to each other, leaving the rest of the gulf in relative peace.
One of the most important geo-political happening in the present day is once again the Gulf states. By no means should the Shiekhs' of theose countries be called our friends; Islamic Shari'a law is in conflict with much of what the US Republic holds dear, and there are factions within those countries that would like to see the USA destoyed. But as long as they are in power though, they represent a stable supplier of a needed world economic commodity (Oil). As long as this is a needed commodity, do not expect too much change from that region. Iran also is once more a potential flashpoint in the region, nuclear ambitions aside.
Israel is not necessarily our friend either, though at least society-wise Christianity sprang from Judaism and politics-wise a Parliament ( Knesset) is closer to our Congress then Shari'a law. Even though that is the case, Israel still has its own agenda ( A safe haven for those of Hebraic descent), and at times they do not always work in the best interest of the USA. They have been overly heavy-handed at times, even if they also have made attempts to settle the mater using detente.
A full discourse on this topic would take up one book if not several; this is perhaps a basic definition of the term to perhaps invoke more independent research from the reader.
